Outrageous! Sarah Palin thinks putting her daughters up at the Ritz-Carlton, in their own room (one room for two daughters), is an appropriate use of taxpayer money! A different time, when she shared a $709.29 per night hotel room overlooking New York’s Central Park for four nights.

Another time she stayed five nights in order to give a single one-time speech. Associated Press reports repeated use of state money to fly her kids around on questionable “state business.”

Here’s another incident mentioned in the AP story (and there are many others):

a trip to New York, where the governor attended a five-hour conference and stayed with 17-year-old Bristol for five days and four nights in a luxury hotel.

This is the “maverick:” and “reformer” who stands for ethics? Yech!

Oh, yes, and she lied to say they were on official business.

I can smell the stench all the way in Massachusetts, 5000 miles away.
